quired two.thirds vote.
Mr.. Lindsay then moved to pass the

bill.
Mr.. Golladay said he could not be-
lieve 1t in the heart of any Repre-

see.
Mr.. Mccall said he had opposed the
bill to put honest poor children with
others convicted of crime. He thought
It'll would be poorhouse for the chill
dren of Davidson county, and David
son county would get the benefit OF it.
He was opposed to it because the poor
boys of the State would reap no benefit
from it. The motion to strike out the
enacting clause was lost. Adjourned
to 1880 pm.
NIGHT SESSION.
The House met at 80 o'clock p.m.,

dali Cole Induatrial School bill WAS

Mr.. Golladsy's amendment to strike

insert the Senate bill with the sppro-
priation$20, 900 stricken out and $4,000
inserted.
Mr.. Erwin spoke in favor Of the bill
and read a communication from CoI.
Cole, authorizing him to say that there
will not be any reso 'utions or condi-
tioDs in the deeds to the property in
favor OF the estate or heirs. The deeds
will be made to the State of Tennes-
see without any resolutions or condi-
tions.
Mr.. Davis Shelby spoke in opposi-
ton to the bill, eclipsing his former
eloquent effort on the prohibition bill.
The eloquent words fl owed from his
lips like the mountain stream that
giides smoothly through the green
glades and grassy dells," and as rap
idly as the red deer scuds through his
native hills.
Mr.. Littleton moved that the House
take recess of five minutes to allow
the gentleman from Shelby to laugh
at his own jokes.
Mr.. Littleton said he was glad that
they had heard the speech of the gen.
tleman from Shelby, as it gave them a
more forcible example of the need of
reform in our youth.
The bill, he said, deserved the Sc.
rious consideration OF the House. 1t
has been unkind in gentlemen on this
floor to get up and insist that this
ought not TO be done because the
donor is a rich man. l could,
said he, describe the man
who makes this donation when he |
came here. He came here poor boy |
with few dollars in his pocket. He
has built himself up an honorable |
citizen to a position that enab les him |
to make this tender to the poor and
unfortunate children Of the State. Ad-
mitting that he makes the tender to
build to himself a monument, is
it not a most worthy one that
tends to reform the youth of his ns-
tive State by the gentleman who
makes the donation. 1t has been said |
that it is local institution. II is not,
as careful reading of the bill would |
obviate the objection of any gentle
man that has had that idea. There is
provision in the bill that any county |
in the State has equal rights with |
Davidson county in proportion to its
Mr.. Littleton read the sections re-
ferring to this and closed in a strong |
appeal for the passage OF the bill.
Mr.. Mccall off cred the following |
amendment: Provided, that the num-
ber of scholarships to which any
county shall be entitled shall be ex-
elusive to that county, and in the
event that any such county shall not
send any pupil to said school that
said vacancy shall not be filed
by pupils from any other
county, except by the written consent
of the Chairman or Judge of ths Coun-
ty Court of the county entitled to
such vacant scholarship; and provided
further, that in no event shall honest
abandoned children be allowed to as
sociate or work with juvenile crimi-
mails. Adopted.
Mr.. Ligon moved to postpone
further consideration inde fnitely.
Lost.
On motion of Mr.. GalIaday the
House adjourned till tomorrow.
